I will buy a note 7. I have 2 options to go for exynos or Qualcomm version. I would like your opinion about wich one has the best performance for games and wich one has the best possibility to receive a developer future Cyanogenmod 13 build. Thank you

Snapdragon beats exynos in terms of performance. Exynos beats snapdragon in terms of possibilities of cyanogenmod builds.

But cyanogenmod roms have always been developed priority for Qualcomm snapdragon versions in story of Galaxy phones

Yeah, i'm going to have to say that is backwards. Qualcomm is good for custom roms and mods while Exynos is the better performer.
Not Qualcomm's fault actually. Whichever phone US winds up getting will be harder to root because of the customary locked bootloaders US Telco overlords has decreed. I suspect in this case, as with the case of S7, is that Qualcomm's chip is harder to root because of the additional bootloader. Not because of the chipset. But I guess I shd have said if you aren't staying in the US, this doesn't apply. : )

So should I go for exynos variant of note 7 if I want a future Cyanogenmod build?
Enviado de meu SM-N920G usando Tapatalk
Correct me if I'm wrong guys, but either way, we don't get Cyanogen do we?
For Snapdragon the Bootloader is locked so the possibility of a custom Recovery and ROM are rather bleak to none, no? I mean what are the odds that another EngBoot leaks for the Note 7? And even with that, people seem to have had a nightmare after Rooting their phones? Plus no TWRP, yet, is there?
For Exynos the Bootloader is unlocked so that's great, however I hear that Samsung doesn't release the source to bake CM for those phones. I will take this option cause at least we could have stable Root and optimized TW ROMs for the phone like the S7 Edge?
Lastly, correct me if I am wrong again, but according to all benchmarks and video reviews isn't the Exynos battery and performance always better than SD? Except the SD GPU edges out?
You pretty much nailed it on all counts.
If you want Cyanogenmod, the Galaxy S7, S7 Edge, and Note 7 are not the phones for you.

Can't you unlock the bootloader if the phone is payed off?
I payed off my S7 and called and had them unlock my bootloader on my phone. Won't that make it easier to root and install custom ROMs?
I'm asking because SP seems like the more likely candidate for Cyanogenmod. I also like Note 7 out of all the other android phones currently on the market. I'm a bit tempted on the Pixel XL, but the MicroSD and waterproof have it edging over the Pixel XL. I would like to think I could get the Note 7 from T-Mobile and then pay it off and when its payed off be able to install CM.
you will never have a working cm build for the note 7 or for any samsung phones for that matter..the only phone that had google experience was the galaxy s5
But doesn't S6 and before have CM builds? As well as the older notes?
What makes the Note 7 so much harder to eventually develop for?

it is not that..they are able to boot into cm but things that will never work are the camera, gps, 3d graphics and some other things..not enough to keep it as a daily driver

I know that Galaxy S4 had all of those working, and from what I've found is that Galaxy S6 also look like they have all of those working. What is it about samsung that would not allow that?

please show me the cm build thread that have all of these working without bugs? because samsung has not released the necessary tool and without it..those bugs will never be fix and thats why they end up abandoning their project

All of them have some bugs but no where near what you have said. For the Galaxy S4 its been a while but checking their forum on here I see that they even have Android 6 builds. including CM13 which is kinda neat given its age. Most of the other things I have seen by searching. I used the S4 as my daily driver for the longest time. Though you are right that some of the threads I have found for the S6 say not a daily driver. I am a bit curious about why, and if that will ever be overcome. As in, in a year will there be builds for CM for the Note 7.
On that note what is the best phone or company for CM?
Well that's just not true....

Which Part?
Many Samsungs has cm. Just not many anymore.
I must have been reading a different page... Someone said cm Roms were only on one ssmsung device.
Note 5 doesn't exactly have it...because the video recording will probably never work..accessing camera from other apps not working...

Yeah, I guess before last year I thought that the samsung devices were all supported by CM. That the samsung devices were the best ones with the best support for CM.

Yeah, I have since read that the S6, and Note 5, namely the devices that came out last year, don't seem to work well with Cyanogenmod.
Hi,
I was thinking about getting the s9+ but I noticed that there are not many roms for the phone, is there any reason for that?

Locked bootloader for the US Snapdragon model.

So the exynos model is not locked?
I was thinking about getting the sd845 model because the performance appeared better, but if it's a cumbersome model to work with and the exynos is better for development. Then maybe one should aim for that model instead.
Wouldnt go for a Samsung phone if you want great custom rom support. Its split between exynos and snapdragon AND you will have to stay with samsung experience roms if you want to have a camera that is not garbage.
Exynos battery isn't as good as snapdragon
Hello everyone,
I wanna hear what your thoughts about the Note 8 Pro vs Note 8.
Do you have any regrets when it comes to buying the Pro? I see that on paper it is much better than the Note 8 however, there doesn't seem to be a lot of custom roms/kernels for it and there is also a bricking issue with the MTK processor.. What are your thoughts and opinions on this? Would you exchange your Note 8 Pro for a Normal variant if you could? Do you have any regrets? Are new custom roms coming in the future? What do you think?
Thank you for your responses.

the processor in Rn8 is alright not as fast compared to MTK in RN8p (i do alot of multi tasking etc)
I reluctantly bought the RN8p because the only variant in RN8 available was 4/128 - needed that extra ram
i neither game nor am much into photography so can't comment there.
Have it rooted and finally setup nearly to my liking, but MTK does suffer from availability of roms and the bricking issues - waiting for RN9p, will move to it if the reviews turn out +ve
Note 8 < Note 8 Pro
Because better processor. Better performance for the price. Also custom roms aren't as rare as some people would have you believe. We have 5 ROMs in testing phase at the moment. And it's just a matter of just one of them having a breakthrough in terms of fixing some known issues. Then we can possibly run any custom rom we want in this phone.
if you are planning to use as a normal user and not planning to mod and install ROMs then RN8P is the way to go if you plan to do mod and flash rom and stuff then other phones might have better dev support.
Hi dev,
Why aren't there many custom ROMs for samsung s20+ Exynos or s20 series devices?
I feel oxygen os 11 would look great on s20 series devices.
Is there any component of device causing no custom ROM development?
Well... I had an exynos Note 10+ and the development for that phone was pitiful and was why I sold the phone. Thinking of buying an S20+ but only if I see some active development or at least plans
Well as phones ar getting more expensive and rooting less viable, I really don't see a bright future for custom rom development on future samsung phones.

Agree, valid reasons for rooting are evaporating. With app based options offering solutions and Samsung making it more and more challenging it's hard to justify. Especially when one considers the prices for a top shelf device and a very real possibility you'll brick your smartphone. Firmware and CSC's are much more complex than 5 or 10 years back, it's not like the good old days when rooting was more straight forward. With that being stated much of the push for rooting comes from users who fail to investigate which device is best suited for their needs, even within the same model line.

Buy an OP phone if you like that, the S20`s have different hardware so most likely not possible.

There's almost never been any roots available for snapdragon versions of Samsung phones. Buy a new phone.
There is a custom rom for SD s22 ultra, don't think any dev's went for the budget phone unfortunately
